Based in Sicily, chef Annalisa Pompeo has nurtured a passion for cooking since she was a young girl under the guidance of her grandmothers in the countryside of Favara.
Annalisa is inspired by a farm-to-table philosophy steeped in the Mediterranean diet and is an advocate for local producers and products.
She supports bio-diverse preservation farming in the Valley of the Greek Temples in Agrigento, a UNESCO site also known for its almonds, olives, and rare black bees.
Annalisa also enjoys weaving her passion for cooking with storytelling and teaching for adults and children, making cooking and culture accessible to all.
